Big time bummer. Not the answer we were hoping for, but better than no answer at all I suppose, so thanks for answering.
If anyone associated with the Halo development folks ever reads this, I do have a suggestion to help prevent turning off otherwise seriously devoted fans: please make it very clear in the warning that the player will not only lose credits and rank in their online profile, but also in their offline profile.
And props to those people for a game that is otherwise most excellent!

I'm brand new to Bungie and this forum, and basically have just one question that I'm certain has been addressed before. When my son chose to "bring his credits online" in Halo Reach after we got XBox Live, he wound up losing not just credits but also his rank, reduced from a Brigadier Grade 3 all the way back to a Warrant Officer Grade 3, along with all of his armory items. We understood he would lose rank in his online profile, that makes sense due to the comparative ease of earning credits offline, but we assumed he would still keep his rank and armor associated with his offline profile. But apparently even his offline profile is now just a Warrant Officer Grade 3, with none of his hard-earned armory items, etc. Meaning that he has seemingly lost literally hundreds of hours of game play, as you all surely know. My question is, is there any way to get his rank back? We would gladly return to having to play online as a default Spartan, if it means recovering his original offline rank (Brigadier Grade 3).
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

It's not the game, it's you. [/quote]
Can see you point ... in that he shouldnt have wasted his money.
But its also the game ... crap netcode and a noobs attempt at lag compensation through player projection.

I wouldn't waste my time playing Halo. Too may people are running around with cheats like invincibility, aimbot and others. What fun is it to shoot at the other guy only for nothing to happen to him and then you get the -blam!- blasted out of you. Every where I go I'm telling people this game SUCKS! Until Stupid ASS Bungie does something about it I hope the cheaters run everybody out of the online games like they did Halo 1

He's not a troll. He's totally unaware of the TU games.

Aside from the fact that the account was created today, has not played any Halo game and it was his first forum post? And yet he knows about Halo: Reach.
Can't rule out the possibility of trolling.
